In a move seemingly designed to gladden only trolls and sitting U.S. presidents, Twitter announced Tuesday that, for a "small group" of users, it has increased its longtime 140 character limit to 280.

Predictably, a bunch of people are freaking out.

Although it's unclear when the change will be rolled out to all users, everyone on Twitter cancurrently see and interact with the few 280-character whoppers out there--including this statement from CEO Jack Dorsey.
